By using a Mushroom at an unfortunate angle in 200cc mode on the GBA Mario Circuit track in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe, it is possible to land in one of the tires decorating the course. The tire is inescapable, forcing the player to lose the race.

I've been a journalist for 25+ years and I'm not sure I've witnessed as much wilful (and v likely coordinated) disinformation from certain corners of the UK media than over past few days. Sun, Mail and Telegraph have been truly awful - and seemingly shameless www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Hello new followers! I’m Adrian, curator of crusty curiosities at Binary Dinosaurs. You may know me from such bangers as ‘that smells like a RIFA, where did they manage to hide that?!’ and ‘great, beneath everything needing a complete cabinet stripdown 😬’ Yes, CPT, I’m looking at you.

The Commodore PET, along with the Apple II and the Radio Shack TRS-80, formed the "1977 Trinity" that made home computers popular. The PET was very quirky, combining a tiny keyboard, a cassette drive for storage, and a monitor in a trapezoidal case. I got one, but it didn't work. Let's fix it... 1/N

How would you call in English and French this type of piece of furniture. It's kind of a "multimedia/hifi/tv" furniture with drawers and doors and a panel with hinges at the bottom that can transform into a small desk. Basically something the player can investigate.
